Symptoms

Children with EFT may experience the following symptoms. Sometimes, children with EFT do not show any of these symptoms. Or, these symptoms may be caused by a medical condition that is not cancer. If you are concerned about a symptom on this list, please talk with your child's doctor.

• Stiffness, pain, swelling, or tenderness in the bone or in the tissue surrounding the bone (About 85% of children with EFT have pain.)
  
  
• A lump near the surface of the skin that may feel warm and soft to the touch
  
  
• A fever that doesn't go away
  
  
• A broken bone that happens without an injury, as a tumor growing in the bone can cause the bone to weaken or fracture
